today we're going to do a quick review a minute top 5 things my favorite things
about the e60 I'm
so everybody let's talk about the top five things that I love about the e60 m5
now I know I've created videos that are kind of similar to that but some of
those videos were created when I first bought the car now that I've had the car
for several years I want to share with you guys some of the things the
highlights the top five things some of them may be obvious to you and some of
them maybe not so much I talked already about five things that
you need to know about the car and some of the things I love that some of the
things I hated about it but today now that since I've had the car for a while
and honestly I can tell you as a long-term owner because now I've had the
car for probably five years I want to share with you some of the things the
top five things that I find are my favorite items on this car so number one
is the engine I don't know about you guys but 507 brake horsepower 383
foot-pounds of torque and an engine of a lifeblood of this car that could propel
it to 205 miles per hour I don't know about you guys but I'm not sure of too
many cars that can exceed 205 miles per hour even with enough truck
there's Lambos and Ferraris that can't touch that there's Porsches that can't
touch that well guess what this car can't touch that and it can hit over 205
miles per hour if the governor is gone so that's one thing I really need to
emphasize that is the first thing I love about this car yes there's some problems
with it inherently but with it there's certainly the flipside the positive to
it and that is the engine so the second thing I love about this
car and of course if you've seen other videos you know guys you know I'm
married I've got children and so because I'm a family man your conventional
family guy there's often times where this car has to suit multiple needs it
has to suit my need because I like performance cars but it needs to suit
the wife's needs who drives this car occasionally to work and she prefers an
automatic although it's a weak automatic transmission at that it does function in
that capacity and as well in terms of practicality how it suits the other need
because I'm a family guy it also does serves the purpose of hauling the
children around not something that you can honestly claim from many other
exotics out there or super cars or even high-performance sports cars for that
matter not many can provide seating for basically a total of five people in this
car legally and realistically in full comfort
so the third thing I love about this car again it comes sorted down to
performance and that's the sound of it there is no other car aside from maybe a
Lamborghini with a 2b exhaust connected to it or a Ferrari with the f1 sounding
engine I mean some of those certainly own the best soundtracks in the business
but this car here honestly aside from some of those
high-end supercars has an exhaust sound second to nothing nothing it doesn't
matter what you drive doesn't matter what you own doesn't matter what you
think you have that may sound better guaranteed this is arguably one of the
best probably the best in the business this side of an f1 or a v12 engine
Ferrari
now the fourth thing and I'm sorry I'm gonna say this this purely subjective
everybody I believe that this is truly the best looking BMW of all time if you
really look around there's been a lot of great BMWs but a lot of BMWs tend to be
very conservative by nature and there are some great look at BMWs don't get me
wrong I love the look of the new m2 some of the new M cars like the m2 and the
m3s look great to me I actually enjoy the e92 better yet though and it is a
great looking car but honestly the way this car sits the the level that it sits
at the size of the rims are well balanced the front spoilers just sharp
enough and the overall car and the proportions are magnificent you put you
put this car in the sunlight shining down on it
there is nothing especially in terms of a sedan that even come close to this for
looks there's really nothing that looks anywhere in my opinion better than this
60 m5 and that definitely goes for the new m5 that even more goes for the new
550 this is easily the best-looking BMW that I've ever seen in my opinion and as
a matter of fact I personally think it looks better than the i8 just for the
record the i8 is a great car nice profile but there's some parts to it
like those rear intake there's rules rear scoops on the back that to me look
a little bit awkward and this car just does not lock proportions styling and
overall appeal so the fifth one and it bear with me on this guys
fifth thing that I love about this card probably the biggest thing in my opinion
out of all the top five the best thing about this BMW e60 m5 is the fact that
it has a v10 now I already spoke of the performance and briefly about the v10
and its performance but it's more than that
it's the fact that every car manufacturer on the globe so far with
the exception of Lamborghini and I've got to believe that that's may change at
one point and we'll see as time goes on because of all these influence that may
change for now that is one of the few other car brands that has a very large
cylinder cylinder count as well as large displacement naturally aspirated engine
that is producing high output for a normal street vehicle that day will
likely never be seen again and understand turbo charging is a great
technology and makes cars go really fast but with turbo charging you lose some of
the essence you lose the power band a lot of the sound goes away and as a
result turbo charging does have its limits and this truly could be even
though I know some are gonna argue that because this car is so unreliable or
that's their belief that it's unreliable that it's not worth owning but the
reality is this truly is a magnificent piece of automotive history that will
likely never be repeated and it's not yet bad history it's not the kind of
history that you find with the Ford Pinto
it's not like you find with the gremlins and the Pacers it's not like you find
with the Fiero with the four-cylinder Fiero those are bad pieces of history or
their true bond built in you know East Germany this is truly a magnificent
piece of automotive history that will never ever be repeated because of its
size of its engine because of the sensitivity to the environment and the
carbon footprint this is likely the last true high-performance large displacement
engine you will ever find almost anywhere under an D brand and I
unfortunately hate to consider the fact that at some point Chevy with the high
displacement v8 Mercedes and their big displacement v8s with the AMG cars and
Lamborghini of course with their v12 and also their V tens and their cons I can
help believe and I really hope that day doesn't come when I can't help believe
that those brands aren't looking at that as a viable option for the future so
again to me this is a piece of true automotive history and a piece of art
that happens to go really fast and I love this car for those five reasons so
